It needs to be the right kind of fats. Dairy products like cheese and milk are some of the most shunned foods, with many experts stating that they are linked to heart disease and obesity.

The study of 1,000 adults, American and Australian researchers discovered that those who frequently have dairy products like milk, cheese and yoghurt fared better on tests of mental ability than those who rarely eat dairy.
Further research is needed to conclusively prove the connection between more dairy in diets and heightened brain power.
